GoodReadLike Falling Into Hell! Raegan eyed Tessa warily.
At the same time, her heart felt like it plummeted to her stomach.
"So it's you! You're the mastermind behind all of this, aren't you?" As if she had not heard what Raegan said, Tessa casually
replied, "Raegan may have stolen other people's boyfriends in the past, butshe's different now.
So, unless you have evidence, stop spewing nonsense.” As soon as these words left Tessa’s mouth, the crowd's demeanor
changed.
It turned out that Raegan had done such an act before and did not deserve any sympathy.
At this moment, the fat woman appeared to regain her confidence.
She grabbed Raegan's phone, hurled it to the ground, and stomped on it for good measure.
"Don't you want to see the evidence? I'll make sure you have no room for doubts!” With that, she rummaged through her bag and
flung a stack of photos at Raegan.
The photos fluttered to the ground like snowflakes.
As they fell, their sharp edges sliced Raegan's cheek.
The onlookers caught sight of the pictures as well.
They were distasteful and obscene.
The crowd's attitude took another nosedive, and people began to openly condemn Raegan.
"Oh, my God.
It's true.
She doesn't look the type.
I never saw this coming.” "What a disgrace.
Bah, she deserves it.” "I wish I could slap her in the face.
She’s disgusting.” Raegan's mind went blank.
The air thickened with cruel words, which came at her from all directions.
She numbly turned around in a daze.
Her gaze fell on her grandmother, who was picking up one of the photos from the ground.
Her hands shook, and her eyes widened with a mix of surprise and disbelief.
Raegan felt she had been pierced by an invisible dagger.
She wanted to tell her grandmother that the pictures had been photoshopped.
But when she caught sight of the hurt and disappointment on her grandmother's face, her lips felt glued shut.
Her throat felt like it was on fire, and she was filled with dread and despair.
In that instant, Raegan felt as though she had been cast into the abyss.
Click.
The sounds of camera shutters pierced the air.
Someone in the crowd initiated the action, and soon enough, everyone had their phones out to capture the humiliating scene.
Within moments, they uploaded the photos and videos to social media platforms, igniting another wildfire of online chatter.
"These pictures...
However, her words fell on deaf ears.
No one opted to listen to her.
Precisely speaking, they deliberately chose to ignore her.
Mockery and scorn descended upon Raegan like a flock of vultures, eager to tear her apart.
Those hateful words seemed to materialize into monstrous entities, lunging at Raegan and gnawing her flesh and spirit.
Her body started shaking uncontrollably.
This whole situation was a setup by vicious people.
At this point, it did not matter if Raegan was innocent or not.
She could only endure the gossip and scorn, knowing she had done nothing wrong.
But the look of disappointment in her grandmother's eyes was too much to bear.
It was as if a dagger pierced into Raegan's heart.
The emotional weight became too much.
Raegan's head dropped, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
But Tessa was unwilling to let Raegan go.
She gave the fat woman a subtle wink.
The fat woman caught Tessa's signal loud and clear.
With that, she yanked Raegan’'s hair back and snarled, "How do you have the nerve to deny all this, you bitch?” After saying
these words, she pulled her leg back, ready to deliver a strong kick to Raegan's abdomen.
In the nick of time...
Bang.
A muffled thud broke through the air.
Someone had kicked the fat woman away, sending her sprawling to the ground.
The fat woman curled up on the ground and cried out in pain.
"Who was that? Who's the son of a bitch who kicked me? Have you lost your mind?" Two men in suits, resembling bodyguards,
appeared out of nowhere and delivered kicks to the fat woman, effectively silencing her.
The rest of the assailants weren't bold without their ringleader and were easier to deal with.
Even if the bodyguards had not done anything, they scattered in all directions.
They were just here for the money anyway.
Tessa, however, was not ready to throw in the towel just yet.
Her elaborate scheme had been all about sabotaging Raegan and getting rid of her unborn child.
She was the one who had arranged those incriminating photos.
At most, she could say she had made a mistake and used more money to settle it down.
But it never crossed her mind that someone would intervene.
“Who's this? Your new sugar daddy? You're full of surprises, Raegan,’ she sarcastically said.
Just then, the man turned to face her.
His refined and distinguished features left Tessa speechless.
How could it be? Tessa clamped her mouth shut and did not dare to make another sound.
I don't want any pictures or videos of this incident online.
If anyone refuses to delete them, they'll be hearing from my lawyer.” Though his voice was void of emotion, a chilling air
enveloped everyone present.
The men in suits were quick and effective.
In no time, the room was empty, and the troublemaking women were kicked out of the ward.
Only Tessa, who was rooted to the spot, remained.
It was not that she wanted to stay.
Her legs had simply turned to jelly.
Once she broke her paralysis, she uttered, "Hector..." Hector shot her a glance.
"You realize that everything you did today has tarnished the Dixon family name, don't you?" "Hector, I didn't...
I was just passing by...
I have nothing to do with this,” Tessa stammered.
"Get out of my face.
I won't be the one to handle you.” Though Hector spoke without emotion, Tessa felt a cold shiver run down her spine and was on
the verge of tears.
What did he mean by that? Who would punish her? Without further ado, the men in black escorted Tessa out, and an eerie
silence settled over the room.
Raegan seemed to be isolated in her own world.
Her body shook.
And as she made her way to her grandmother, she was almost crawling.
She enveloped her grandmother in a gentle embrace.
Her grandmother seemed so fragile as if she could slip away at any moment.
She stared at Raegan with turbid eyes but could not find herself to say something.
For the first time, Raegan felt an overpowering sense of dread.
At this moment, tears blurred her vision.
"Grandma, don't believe them...
It's not true...
Please, don't believe them..." Raegan implored.
"Of course, I don't believe them, Raegan..." her grandmother assured her.
"I know you'd never do anything like that..." Raegan's eyes brimmed with tears.
At this moment, her grandmother seemed to be struggling to say something, and her breaths became increasingly shallow.
Kendra hit the emergency call button to call for medical help.
"Prepare for emergency treatment!” The nursing staff moved to wheel Raegan's grandmother to the emergency room, but
Raegan's grandmother's grip tightened on Raegan's clothing.
Raegan leaned in quickly to catch her grandmother's final words.
"Raegan...
J...
I believe you...
You have to live a happy life...
This...
This is all my fault..." As her grandmother finished speaking, her grip on Raegan's clothing began to weaken.
The room was thick with a weighty silence, punctuated only by the raspy breaths of Raegan's grandmother..
